Chidori-Raikiri / Different or same ?

[Heisenberg Wannabe]

Gai says they're the same.

According to Gai they're the same thing. Its original name is Chidori and its been called Raikiri because Kakashi used it to cut a bolt of lightning with it.

But Naruto Wikia is handled this as if they are two separate jutsus and also many people treats it like that. As if Raikiri is an advanced Chidori.

So I wonder, is there something I missed in the manga where Kakashi corrects Gai and says that Raikiri is an advanced Chidori he later developed ?

 

[Ansatsuken]

Its same. But chidori can be form as sword

 

[SSStylish]

Databook says they are different. Chidori being A rank and Raikiri S.

This however was never stated in the manga as far as I'm concerned. So it depends on what you trust more, wich shouldn't be much of a question.

 

[maniaoqan]

Same jutsu. People are confused because Kakashi after implanting Sharingan saying he completed the jutsu. Sharingan only allowed him to see better while using chidori so he won't be blind to counter-attacks.

 

[DeathXVII]

Guy is right. It's the same jutsu and just a nickname.

-It's just lighting chakra on their hand.

-Chidori is A rank and the Raikiri is S rank. Having 2 ranks for the same tech doesn't make sense.

-The power depends on if the hands open/close, chakra quality, and speed.

 

[Gein]

Im just gonna say Lightning Blade is more refined/extra chakra.


Lightning Blade IS Chidori.

 

[EVlL]

same.

kakashi named it raikiri because kakashi used chidori to cut lightning, thats all.

chidori in sasuke hands tho, has been developed into variants. sasuke "invents" chidori stream, chidori senbon, chidori nagashi. also only in sasuke hands, chidori could be used to tame lightning.

 

[yondaime4]

I feel like the main differance is that kakashi can throw raikiri and turn it into a wolf or dog or whatever but sasuke can extend its length making it a sword.

But ya same shit.

 

[ninjarasengan]

Kakashi noted that he created this technique as the result of his failed attempt to apply his lightning nature transformation to Rasengan, which embodies the highest level of shape transformation.

Doesn't this kinda damage a Kakashi's hype?

OT: I think they are the same or the difference is like the difference between Rasengan and Odama Rasengan.

 

[Selan]

Chidori is the basic version of the jutsu while Raikiri is the most powerful version of the jutsu: it focuses more Raiton chakra and more hightly focused Raiton chakra in the first place. Hence Chidori is A-rank and Raikiri is S-rank.

 

[Gold Lightning]

There is no difference

 

[Pukkake Pokayo]

<div class="bbWrapper">I assumed raikiri was stronger and chidori was therefore easier to make variants with.</div>

"But right / correct / real name Jutsu - Chidori" - Sasuke to Deidara (Familiar translated into Russian)
"By the way,my jutsu is technically called chidori" -Sasuke to Deidara (Viz Media)

From all this I conclude that the Raikiri is Kakashi Chidori =D
That is, I want to say that Kakashi is so honed his Chidori it was Raшkiri.
That is Raikiri this its personal Chidori.

 

[SenseiSama]

Damn Ino must have been really fodder to think it was impossible

 

[KidGamer65]

Same tech at the core, but one is more refined.

But it's been pointed it by other debaters that throughout the series Chidori and Raikiri have been interchanged, even some people in the manga calling Sasuke's Chidori, Raikiri

 

[BenjerminGaye]

Raikiri>chidori

One is more refined than the other hence the change in rank.

Forgive but I not really understood you.

 

[SatanicGod]

In the manga, characters have called Sasuke's technique, Raikiri, instead of Chidori
